I-797 approved, Can I enter US telling the immigration officer that I’m a visitor without the H1b stamp and adjust the status inside the US?

Just to be clear, you want to lie to the immigration officer on the intent of your entry?

funny

Are you serious or just trying to get roasted?🤔

funny

No

Lol no. You can’t enter without a valid visa stamp

No

Dude, this is a clean forum & none will (& should) suggest you that’s not ethical. Also all such forums are closely monitored and we don’t want to be part of a group that listens such stuff.
So ask ethical, tell ethical & do ethical, period.

No, please don’t do that.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not?

What’s the general consensus?
